Description
God's Tent Pitched Among Us tells the story of a Fresh Expression of Church developed in parishes in West Northumberland. It shows how small rural parishes can respond with confidence to the opportunities and challenges for mission and ministry. As the church focuses more and more on growth in urban areas, this book shows that flourishing exists throughout the church, and particularly in small and rural contexts.
This is a handbook for those who would like to develop there own expression of God's Tent, providing practical encouragement and easy-to-follow outline sessions. It also offers an extended reflection on the powerful image of the tent-pitching God in the book of Exodus and whom biblical writers continue to draw on through the book of Revelation, and more notably in the prologue to John's Gospel.
